Research is what differentiates university education from any other since it develops intelligence and logical thinking. In this regard, both teachers and students have a role of researchers who question paradigms and recreate investigation conditions to start from questions and not answers.
With research, teaching is not limited to transmitting knowledge. It develops people’s ability to understand, learn to learn and find out the logics that produce knowledge.
Research is found in all academic processes and spaces; it is consolidated in three mainstays:
1. Diversity of values
2. Search of human development and wellbeing for all
3. Appreciation of centrality and reciprocity
In order to strengthen research, the university has several research groups in its three branch campuses (Quito, Cuenca and Guayaquil) that produce knowledge from scientific production and technological development. The groups are made up by teachers and students, they have different lines of research, they seek to change lives through innovative projects and they work together with institutions from around the world.
